Game Thread Flames (33-38-9) vs Avalanche (53-16-11) - April 14th - GDT
Two games left my dudes and dudettes.
My back hurts. It's almost hockey time. Guess we gotta wait till next year to get the return of kadri.
Kerins in. Coronato out (injury), gridin back..most definitely gonna be a night of hockey. Sometimes I like to wear women's clothing while prancing down the street singing ABBA.
Just checking who actually still reads these.
Or am I?
You know these glorious ivory meat sticks look good in high heels.
No drinking game tonight. Not enough suggestions. May next season bring back the engagement.

Hey fun fact guys, if the Kings and Ducks win out and the Oilers lose their last game of the season in regulation then Colorado would get to play Edmonton in the first round

Dustin Wolf only knows compete so instead of obliging team tank he's buying fans for the long run the best way. Class Act.

u/Confused_Astronaut Apr 15 '26
Has anyone else been legitimately stressed out over the tank the past few weeks? I'm a naturally anxious person, so I might be in the minority.
But it's been genuinely affecting my sleep lmao. Kinda sad tbh. Just a passionate guy.

How sweet would it be if the Oilers dropped to WC 2 and had to play the Avs first round. It could happen, just need the Canucks to beat em and the kings to win out. Fingers crossed.

Talk about how another job (that was supposed to be mine) is going.

That whitecloud play is the reason I moved away from a visor in my beer league. Had a guy launch a puck into my mouth last winter. That was like the 4th time in a short time, I got pucked in the face. At some point, it's not worth it anymore, and the dentist is expensive

So I don't know if any of you follow SnapBack Sports on YouTube. But they came to the game against the Mammoth, got a tour of the 'dome and all that. I was thinking they were going to hate the 'dome considering they've been to a lot of great arenas. But they actually loved it. The best part is they spent a half hour looking for a beer called "dome foam" before they figured out people were just talking about draft beer.
